Classy clothes

[2021s]

I’m 47, a size 16 and fairly tall. Where can I buy plain black, smart, classic cut clothes, quality but not bank breaking? For a new job… thanks!

Zara are excellent really. Blazers and pencil trousers are great and wash well

Cos. Good luck for your job!

Cos, Arket, Me & Em.

I love Arket and Cos and I think you could find good pieces at both but Arket is more classic than Cos. Neither would be as classic as somewhere as Hobbs or Jaeger of course. I’m a size 16 too and Zara would not be great for me…they’re not excessively generously sized.

Thank you! I have just bought a dress from cos in the sale, exciting!

Yes I have bought from Zara before and it never fits well, I’m too chunky for Zara

M and S autograph can have some good pieces
